I've trying to talk my husband into a golf trip to Scotland/Ireland. Maybe soon!Cloning Couturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14318090784680489874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-39080828829351853622015-11-04T10:52:46.398+00:002015-11-04T10:52:46.398+00:00Yes, thank you.

However, any padding would perhaps not stick to this so that wasn't a very good idea! This was my 'tee shirt' as mentioned in your earlier comment<br />I do have a tight fitting toile to fit Helen, which has been very closely fitted by my tutor on Helen when she was up a month or so ago. I have been investigating what padding material to use on the model and haven't come up with the solution (that's available to me) as yet! However, in my second photo in this post, even though the model is not padded and is down at the smallest size, the toile does not meet at the zipper area. In other areas, the toile looks very loose because the model is not padded and is not at the right size.. Therefore, my comment that I thought the model was too big in this (zipper) area and disproportionately shaped - it looks very odd indeed when it's standing unclothed!<br />Thank you for your offer to email you for further help. I first need to get my golf AGM (I am secretary) out of the way, oh and complate my pattern fitting homework for tomorrow, then I can think about it again! I will be in touch, thank you.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932830885813917282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-33608593872108696932015-11-03T21:35:56.280+00:002015-11-03T21:35:56.280+00:00The tight cover needs to be a duplicate of her sha...The tight cover needs to be a duplicate of her shape and sewn in a medium weight linen or light canvas WOVEN fabric. If you just use a tight stretch cover it's not the same. I've padded forms for just about every imaginable size and shape. I pad a form for every bride I sew for and it saves SO much time and aggravation so don't skimp on the time necessary to get it right. If you email me at MF953 at aol dot com I'll be more than happy to give you additional suggestions and photos.Cloning Couturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14318090784680489874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-58413190182564604552015-11-03T07:40:22.952+00:002015-11-03T07:40:22.952+00:00Thank you.

We're looking at what to do the gaps with. I haven't given up yet. I have that really tight cover. I need your good luck! Your form looked excellent.

Put one of her well fitting bras on the form. Pad the waist and hip to her measurements, You will need a TIGHT fitting toile to cover the form. Using a garment and padding out to fit that will result in a form that's too big. I had excellent results using Suzy Furrer's Craftsy class on moulage. Stand the form on a sturdy box or footstool to gain height. Fasten it down so it's less likely to tip. I've used just about every possible configuration to get something suitable. Good luck.Cloning Couturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14318090784680489874noreply@blogger.com
